Learn the Design Rules for 3D Metal Printing
In 3D metal printing, even the most minor design missteps can lead to significant loss. You might have your CAD model ready, accounted for every dimension, and the ideal metal filament selected. But, what will you do if your part emerges from the printer, warped, distorted, or failed entirely? Designing for metal additive manufacturing is about understanding some physics: how heat affects the material, how supports interact with complex geometries, and how orientation can make or break your build. In ......

Brick Layer for Stronger 3D Prints Now Yours to Use
You finally dialed in your extrusion settings, your filament is dry, and still, your part splits clean along the layer lines the moment you put it under stress. It’s the kind of failure that turns a solid-looking print into a structural letdown. Layer adhesion has always been the Achilles’ heel of FDM printing. But there’s a smart workaround that’s picking up steam among engineers and serious hobbyists alike: brick layer 3d print. By offsetting infill and wall patterns across layers, like bricks in a ......

How to Add Different Color Text to a 3D Print: A Design and Slicing Guide
Adding multi-color text to your 3D prints can elevate an ordinary object into a personalized, businesslike product. Standard Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers normally print objects of one color, but adding text of variant colors is possible using the appropriate design approach as well as the correct slicer settings. In this guide, we’ll walk through the complete process, from modeling multi-color text in CAD software to slicing techniques using tools like PrusaSlicer, Cura, and Bambu Studio. ......
